Sheila je autorka, ktorej umelecká cesta sa začala v Taliansku v 60. rokoch po boku Franca Zeffirelliho, kde sa ponorila do sveta divadla, filmu a opery. Táto skúsenosť jej otvorila oči pre krásu umenia a inšpiráciu nachádzala v všadeprítomnej kráse Ríma. Svoju kreativitu následne uplatnila pri oživení historického domu parfumov Penhaligon's, kde strávila dvadsať rokov jeho medzinárodným rozvojom. Jej tvorivá iskra a energia ju teraz sprevádzajú svetom šperkov, kde prepája inšpiráciu a pôvod s technológiou 21. storočia.
This beautiful keepsake includes marbled endpapers, full-color die-cut illustrations throughout for mounting photographs, a quarter-bound cloth binding with silk ribbon ties, shrink wrapping, and, of course, the Victorian Posy scent. 16 full-color illustrations.
A selection of Christmas carols and rhymes and excerpts from the works of Dylan Thomas, Dickens and Shaw. The text is illustrated with period paintings, including biblical scenes, Father Christmases and skating scenes. The book is scented with Penhaligon's "Winter Garden".
This scented treasury of verse and prose, selected by Sheila Pickles, is perfumed with Penhaligon's floral fragrance Elizabethan Rose. Each piece is richly illustrated with period paintings, including works from the Renaissance and by nineteenth century masters.
This miniature work comprises descriptions of 40 English flowers, explaining the origins and legends behind each one. Included is a selection of poems and prose in which romantic writers have alluded to camellias, lavender, liles and the rose.
With today's renewed interest in alternative medicine and herbal healing, many herbs are being rediscovered and put to use in the treatment of illness, in culinary preparations and as an aid to health and well-being. In this volume, the symbolic meanings that herbs held for the Victorians are explored, and the relevance of herbal remedies to modern-day life is examined.
